Jane's first day of preschool a couple weeks ago.
She loves having her 'own thing'.
She got a rock from soccer practice. Then came home and said she needed a 'spinach box'. She picked a bunch of grass, put it and the rock inside, and said it was her pet. I praised her idea telling her I love pets that you don't have to worry about feeding and that don't poop.
"Bike Rodeo" day at school.
I wish we biked Siri to school more often!
...I just remembered I need to change her flat tire :(
She is still in monkey bar phase. Every play ground, all the time. Monkey bars.
We enjoyed celebrating her birthday last week. She's in love with legos from the Grandmas. She has been asking all year for a real bow and arrow, which we got her. I just need to get some hay bales or bags of grass next time we mow to make a target.
Great Grandmother Thackeray. Took this pic of her on the girls when we visited her on her 98th birthday this past Monday! I'm used to staying as long as the girls can stand (which is maybe 30 minutes), but this time I wish I could have stayed longer, just to chat and do little odds and ends for her around the house.
Right now I'm sitting at my computer, 9:45pm. I stink. Mark and I got to play indoor soccer tonight, the girls came to watch. I need to go shower so I can read some of my book, Boys in the Boat, before I get too tired. I'm thankful I don't have to work to provide income. One day I hope I will because I want to, but now is not the season. I'm thankful to stay home, make granola, help in Siri's class, visit with the neighbor (which also means do dishes, laundry, etc...but I'm thankful for that too). I'm thankful for a husband who makes it a point to recognize when we don't have the Spirit between us as a family. He turned a very grumpy car ride home into a pleasant one by asking them about colors and numbers. He got a notebook and hat and pretended to be a detective to get them to really clean up their room. He made cookie dough with them and helped clean the kitchen. Life is good.

Hi! Just chiming in once in a while to say that I still follow you! I love reading your updates and remembering being in your stage of life! They are all good! (And tiring, and fun, and scary and amazing! I wouldn't change it for anything!) Love you and your cute family. And Jane's glasses!
